Everybody let’s rock! Rock, as in catching rockfish – stripers, that is, and the season is here. As of today, October 4, anglers are allowed to keep one rockfish per day between 19- and 31-inches. This means that those 40-pound plus fish – the big females with lots of quality eggs – will be off limits but those school sized stripers are in play. There seem to be lots and lots of 18- to 24-inch stripers, especially in the tidal rivers. And they bite like crazy beneath the lights of piers and docks. GULPs, crankbaits, and jigs are solid bait choices. The season extends through December.
